if i were faced with a moral decision, i would simply only do it if it could be universalized

Thing I have noticed with rationalists (e. g. Ein Tyre and to a lesser extent myself): saying something and then pausing, saying "do I believe that?" and reflecting for a couple of seconds.
Its kind of an admission of defeat (your brain produces thought & speech faster than it can check) but there is a higher-order process running that performs a-posteriori sanity checks.

I like it.

they call it a Kafka pipeline because it keeps turning into a bug

@dx seems you’re going to have to send the feet back and forth, each time in an increasingly comically overbuilt container, creating an amusing believe-it-or-not story people will sometimes hear about on blogs in 25 years

compiler: i consent!
code: i consent!
IDE's cached build files: i don't!

type checking: isn't there someone you forgot to ask?

i don't have a real good disaster preparedness rubrick other than making a graph of dependencies for all of your shit and then picking a random node and saying "that node is dead now, carry on"

sometimes this means almost nothing (ex. if netflix goes down .. oh no :blobcatdunno:) but some of the nodes are a big pain in the ass like if google fiber goes down

:cirno_doubt: shit. now i have to read those epubs i downloaded.
